This ordinance allows City staff to negotiate the usage of 100 parking spaces in One Alamo Center to facilitate the redevelopment of East Commerce corridor and the downtown core.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On April 17, 2014, City Council approved an economic development agreement with the Klabzuba Realty, LLC to assist with tenant recruitment and retention.

The City has the ability to sublease the spaces to third-parties to facilitate retail and housing development along the Commerce Street corridor.
Under this ordinance, City staff will be allowed to negotiate parking contracts which are not limited to parking agreements, valet parking services and/or month-to-month individual parking. The City Manager or designated City staff may alternate the terms or licensees for the use of these parking spaces at any time in order to increase or enhance the future development of the Commerce Street corridor or the downtown area.
City staff will establish a rate of $50 per space on a monthly basis for any parking spaces used in a valet capacity with limited usage hours. The remaining 10 parking spaces will be available seven days a week at all times at a cost of $105 per month. For each subsequent year, the per space rate can be raised 5% over the previous year's rate based on market demand.
